Additional Information About Your Seat Belts The seat belts in all positions except the driver's and the center position of the third seat have an additional locking mechanism that must be activated to secure a child seat. (See pages 33 and 38 for instructions on how to secure child seats with this type of seat belt.) If the shoulder part of the belt is pulled all the way out, the locking mechanism will activate. The belt will retract, but it will not allow the passenger to move freely. To deactivate the locking mechanism, unlatch the buckle and let the seat belt fully retract. To refasten the belt, pull it out only as far as needed. See page 15 for instructions on how to wear the lap/shoulder belt properly. Attach the metal hook on the edge of the shoulder belt to the metal loop on the latch plate of the lap belt marked CENTER, then tug on the shoulder belt to make sure it is securely attached. Insert the latch plate of the lap belt into the buckle marked CENTER, then tug on the lap belt to make sure the buckle is latched. The combination lap belt and shoulder belt in the center position of the third seat goes over your shoulder, across your chest and over your hips. The shoulder belt has an emergency locking retractor that works in combination with the lap belt. To fasten the seat belt, unlatch the metal plate of the shoulder belt from the anchor on the ceiling and extend the belt by pulling the metal plate. To unlock the belt, push the red PRESS button on the buckle and detach the shoulder belt from the lap belt. See page 17 for how to lengthen the lap belt, and how to properly position the lap and shoulder belts. Driver and Passenger Safety
